An improved wearable locator has an ultra-low power RF transceiver, GPS receiver, cellular network RF transceiver, processor, programmable non-volatile memory, LCD display, accelerometer and rechargeable battery. To ensure that the locator is within a perimeter, it can cooperate with a subordinate unit that includes an ultra-low power RF transceiver, processor, power supply, DC charging output, rechargeable battery, visual, audible and tactile enunciators and pushbutton, and can be plugged into an outlet or be unplugged and be mobile. Other wireless units can be used to define a perimeter.

Apparatus and methods for geolocating an individual with respect to a perimeter

A personal locator beacon system including at least one individual locator device and a plurality of battery powered wireless beacons installed at different locations within a facility. Each individual locator device is worn by a corresponding individual and has a local wireless transceiver and a GPS receiver. The plurality of beacons include at least a subset of reed switch beacons installed at different doorway locations within the facility. Each reed switch beacon is configured to transmit an identification signal with a predetermined signal strength for reception by the local wireless transceiver of the individual locator device within a designated area of the facility, as well as to selectively acquire a perimeter mode for detecting opening of a respective door of the facility.
